I’ve been pondering all my wonderful blog friends over the past couple of months and not a day goes by where I don’t think of something new to post. Magical adventures, dreams, crafts, funny uttering's from my offspring, But… But is such a bad word for me. My young and gorgeous counselor thinks I need to remove it from my vocabulary. (The word But, not my Blog.)

And I will. For long-time readers, you’ve probably realized that things haven’t been the same around FawnDear since last July when the Unbloggable happened. And as the Unbloggable is still overpowering sometimes I find my dreams slipping away. I hope to find myself soon. AND I will. But I’m taking April off to collect some strength. Last week was a new low for me. But the simple message of Easter and the Savior’s atonement have helped boost my spirits. So lovely blog friends and readers. FawnDear will be back May 1st. Believe me I’m so looking forward to May Day this year. I’m planning, dreaming and feeding my spirit. Please be patient with my silence because I love you all and can’t wait to converse like old times. See you in May.

"I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

Henry David Thoreaufrom the "Conclusion" to Walden

I Belong...

". . .Dear women, I say thanks to you. Thank you for being the kind of people you are and doing the things you do. May the blessings of heaven rest upon you. May your prayers be answered and your hopes and dreams become realities. . .May you live with love one for another. May you reach down to lift up those whose burdens are heavy. May you bring light and beauty to the world and particularly into your homes and into the lives of your children. . . You may never know how much good you accomplish. Someone's life will be blessed by your effort. . . " President Gordon B. Hinckley
